Description
The annual Best of Baltimore was a hot ticket. I'd just gotten back from New York and I was struck by how the creme de la creme of my fair city could barely match any given bar on the lower east side of Manhattan.

A friend gave me a ticket, but by the point I showed up they were just letting anyone in regardless of invites or social status. I recognized a lot of people milling around. Most were the kind of hipster I tried to avoid at bars and clubs. I like to think the feeling was mutual.

The comic above best summarizes the experience. The brief chat that follows an accidental recognition. I left soon afterwards.

The food was well worth the trip, however, and I'd go to a future Best of Baltimore just for another taste.

p.s.

The first panel really doesn't look like me, bu the last does.
